Sideways stock movement likely over for Becton Dickinson BDX

+8.32% in 32 days Filed under: Stocks to Buy Medical equipment giant Becton Dickinson's (NYSE: BDX) stock has meandered since recommended on March 17, 2009 at a price of $65.66, with volatility, most likely due to U.S. federal health care reform legislation uncertainty, but look for better quarters ahead, when the dust settles, which is why I'm reiterating my Buy rating for the company's shares.

+6.28% in 125 days (closed on 07/20/09) Filed under: Stocks to Buy How would one characterize the current investment climate? Rough sledding, at best, for equities, and a defensive posture is the rule.
